 |
|
Today I used audacity for the first time in quite a few months and I have a terrible recording delay when I overdub. the overdubs are like a full half a second late.
I know for a fact this wasn't happening...I even have the old projects to prove it, and I have no clue what changed. When it was working it may have been an older version...I really don't remember. Right now I'm running media-sound/audacity-1.3.2-r1, and I'm going to try the ~86 version (media-sound/audacity-1.3.3).
Anyone else see this? I've read of people having this and not being able to fix it....but again...mine was working fine for certain.
I'm using the line in of an on-board Intel card:
| Code: | | 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 04) |
And have the recording input set the way it's always been...OSS (/dev/dsp).

Upgrading didn't fix it either, so I'm going back to the stable version.
I'm wondering if a kernel upgrade caused some change to the driver. This really sucks.

I found it...there was a setting in the preferences under Latency called "audio to buffer" that was set to 100 ms. This may have been a new setting in an upgrade with this as a default value. I changed it to 5 and have virtually no noticable recording latency.
